Suppressing her small bout of anger and grudge, Ou Lan stomped up the stairs with a “thud, thud, thud.”
Li Dan spoke softly, “Master Xiao, isn’t it a bit too harsh to be training the Young Madam like this when she’s still just a child?”
“What, you feel sorry for her?”
The look in Master Xiao’s eyes made Li Dan’s spine chill, and he quickly shook his head, “I wouldn’t dare, I’m not qualified to.”
Zhan Moxiao rose and walked out, snorting coldly, “She’s my woman, she doesn’t need your pity.”
“…Yes, Master Xiao.”
Watching Zhan Moxiao’s retreating figure, Li Dan wiped his forehead.
Master Xiao’s jealousy was unimaginably intense.
After ascending the stairs, Ou Lan quickly took a shower and climbed into bed, but no matter how she tossed and turned, she couldn’t sleep.
The unfamiliar environment and lifestyle made all 36,000 of her pores tense and uncomfortable.
She thought about whether Zhan Moxiao might make that kind of request when he came in, after all, they were legally married now.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she got out of bed and locked the door from the inside.
Finally feeling at ease, she climbed back into bed and lay there with wide-open eyes, pondering.
Her life as the Empire’s Richest Man’s Lady had begun out of the blue, but how could she end it?
She certainly didn’t want to jog every morning and stand at attention.
Only by divorcing Zhan Moxiao could she free herself completely.
With that in mind, she quickly turned over, took out her phone, and went on a forum to ask: How can one successfully divorce a man of immense power and wealth?
The netizens were particularly enthusiastic, leaving comments:
“Damn, sis, have you lost your mind?
You married a man like that and you still want a divorce?
I advise you to tie your husband up tighter, what’s there to divorce!”
“Exactly, an ungrateful one.
I would be willing to be his mistress and have a hundred children for such a man.”
“This woman must have a screw loose.”
“Beauty, unless you’re trying to climb an even higher branch, perhaps someone like Zhan Moxiao?”
Damn…!
Ou Lan read the comments, fuming.
She really wanted to reply bluntly, “Damn it, the richest man I married is the Empire’s Richest Man, Zhan Moxiao.”
However, who would believe her?
Who would believe her!
After asking around and obtaining nothing but uninteresting responses, Ou Lan burrowed into the blanket and went to sleep.
…
Zhan Moxiao handled some documents in his office and, as the sky grew dark, got up to rest.
It was their wedding night, and he naturally had no intention of separating.
He approached the bedroom door, grasped the doorknob, and gently turned it only to find it was locked from the inside.
Haha, Master Xiao held his waist and paused for two seconds with amusement.
He turned around, went back to his office to find a fine piece of wire, and with a gentle poke at the lock, the door opened.
Such a small matter couldn’t stump him.
The bedroom was dim, lit only by a single orange bedside lamp.
The girl was already sleeping quietly, her charming little form particularly enchanting and gentle in the light.
His territory was decorated with cold, dark tones, with a black bed and black bedding.
There she lay submerged in a world of darkness, her pure white skin strikingly conspicuous, like a little sprite that had intruded into the Beast King World.
The hard lines of his face gradually softened, and his heart, always so cold and stern, softened as well.
For some unfathomable reason, looking at this little demon stirred something peculiar in him, a strong desire to cherish and pamper her, as one would a mischievous Persian cat.
After quietly observing for a few seconds, he leaned over to take the phone from the girl’s embrace.
The screen suddenly lit up, and he saw the content of her inquiry.
His expression darkened suddenly, becoming cloudy and threatening to rain.
The deed was done, the raw rice had turned to cooked rice, yet she was still thinking about divorce.
He quickly locked the phone screen and set it aside, sneering at her, “Little wild cat, now that you’ve fallen into my Five Fingers Mountain, never think about escaping!”
